### Bug Fixes

* `GridFSBucketAdapter` throws when using some Parse Server specific options in MongoDB database options ([parse-community#9915](parse-community#9915)) ([d3d4003](parse-community@d3d4003))
* Deprecation warning logged at server launch for nested Parse Server option even if option is explicitly set ([parse-community#9934](parse-community#9934)) ([c22cb0a](parse-community@c22cb0a))
* Parse Server option `rateLimit.zone` does not use default value `ip` ([parse-community#9941](parse-community#9941)) ([12beb8f](parse-community@12beb8f))
* Queries with object field `authData.provider.id` are incorrectly transformed to `_auth_data_provider.id` for custom classes ([parse-community#9932](parse-community#9932)) ([7b9fa18](parse-community@7b9fa18))
* Race condition can cause multiple Apollo server initializations under load ([parse-community#9929](parse-community#9929)) ([7d5e9fc](parse-community@7d5e9fc))
* Server internal error details leaking in error messages returned to clients ([parse-community#9937](parse-community#9937)) ([50edb5a](parse-community@50edb5a))

* Add Parse Server option `enableSanitizedErrorResponse` to remove detailed error messages from responses sent to clients ([parse-community#9944](parse-community#9944)) ([4752197](parse-community@4752197))
* Add support for MongoDB driver options `serverSelectionTimeoutMS`, `maxIdleTimeMS`, `heartbeatFrequencyMS` ([parse-community#9910](parse-community#9910)) ([1b661e9](parse-community@1b661e9))
* Add support for more MongoDB driver options ([parse-community#9911](parse-community#9911)) ([cff451e](parse-community@cff451e))
* Allow option `publicServerURL` to be set dynamically as asynchronous function ([parse-community#9803](parse-community#9803)) ([460a65c](parse-community@460a65c))
* Upgrade to parse 7.1.1 ([parse-community#9954](parse-community#9954)) ([fa57d69](parse-community@fa57d69))
* Upgrade to parse 7.1.2 ([parse-community#9955](parse-community#9955)) ([5c644a5](parse-community@5c644a5))

### Performance Improvements
